Im in southwest WI & had winter kill on very specific plants.  Im 
growing maybe 15 varieties of grapes & only the St Croix winterkilled.  
Ive a several varieties of bush cherry including a lot of nankings & 
only the korean bush cherries winter-killed.  & I had put in 6 year old 
PA Golden Paw Paws from John Gordon last year & I figured they were 
dead.  All of them seem to be sprouting back vigorously from the roots 
meaning they made it thru a week of 20-25 below this winter.

& a bit off topic but the ground nut that I got from from a ground nut 
breeding project if finally taking off, enough so that I'll probably 
harvest some this year & actually get a taste of it.
